Applying Microsurgery In Plastic Surgery:

The use of microscopes and precision instruments led to much advancement in plastic surgery. Surgical cosmetic procedures that made use of such equipment were termed as microsurgeries.

One of the branches of plastic surgery, reconstructive surgery, has benefited the most from microsurgery practices. The use of high precision instruments has made it possible for surgeons to perform surgeries that necessitate a high degree of accuracy and detail.

Complex face surgeries that involve reconstruction of facial tissue and bone have been performed successfully through a microsurgical procedure. Surgeons can perform a reconstruction of the breast as well.

The most vital part of a microsurgery is selecting the flap that is going to be used for reconstruction. The selected flaps have to possess a strong structure and should be easy to harvest. A lot of combining factors like bone, muscle, tendon, nerve, skin, etc. go into selecting the flap.

The ability of the cosmetic surgeon to work on miniscule details and experienced knowledge of the occurrence of well-defined flaps in the surgery area are vital premises for a microsurgery procedure. The inter-operative care that needs to be taken in a microsurgery reconstructive procedure is as important as the postoperative care.

At our California surgical institute, the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, top plastic surgeons are well-trained in reconstructive plastic surgery treatments that call for the application of microsurgery. You can get in touch with us for a quick consultation and through diagnosis.
